One of the things that consistently surprises first-time guests at Casa de Campo® is how good the food is. Not good-for-a-resort good — genuinely good. The 12 restaurants and 9 bars spread across 7,000 acres cover enough ground culinarily — French-inspired fine dining, Peruvian, Italian, Mexican street food, Mediterranean beachfront, Argentinian street food, Peruvian-Japanese fusion — that a week’s worth of evenings out can feel genuinely varied rather than repetitive.
The other thing that surprises guests is the setting. Dinner in Altos de Chavon — a replica 16th-century Mediterranean village perched above the Chavon River — is dinner in one of the most atmospheric locations in the Caribbean. Lunch at Minitas Beach Club means eating 10 metres from the Caribbean Sea. The post-round drink at the 19th Hole Bar happens in the direct sightline of the world’s most famous golf course. The setting is rarely incidental.
This guide covers every restaurant and bar at Casa de Campo®, organised by location and purpose — so that whatever the occasion, whoever is in your group, and wherever you are in the resort, you know exactly where to go.
How Reservations Work at Casa de Campo®
Before the restaurant-by-restaurant breakdown, one practical note that matters for your trip.
Reservations are strongly recommended at every sit-down restaurant, particularly during peak season (December–April). La Caña, SBG, La Piazzetta, and Minitas Beach Club dinner service all book out on busy nights. Walking in without a reservation at 8pm in January is a gamble that frequently does not pay off.
Villa guests booking through Caribbean Paradise Homes: Our concierge team handles restaurant reservations as a standard part of the villa booking service. Before you arrive, tell us which nights you want to eat out and at which restaurants, and we will confirm your reservations in advance. This is one of the most practical uses of the concierge relationship — our on-the-ground team has the direct lines to each restaurant’s host.
For independent reservations: Call the resort directly at (809) 523-8364 or use the resort’s email concierge. Some restaurants, including SBG, are also bookable through OpenTable.
Fine Dining and Special Occasions
La Caña Bar & Restaurant
Location: Main hotel area | Cuisine: French-inspired, Mediterranean | Dress code: Smart casual to elegant | Hours: Lunch 12pm–4pm, Dinner 6pm–11pm, Bar 9am–1am
La Caña is the heart of Casa de Campo’s social and dining scene. Named after the sugarcane crops that have surrounded La Romana since the 1800s, the restaurant elevates local Dominican ingredients through a French-influenced kitchen — a combination that produces food that is refined without being fussy and grounded in the place it comes from.
The outdoor terrace is the place to be on a clear evening: the air is warm, the company tends to be well-dressed, and the sense of occasion is right for a special dinner without requiring the formality of a jacket. The interior bar and lounge area runs later than the dining room — live local music begins around 9pm, hand-rolled cigars are available at the bar, and the Dominican rum selection is extensive and deliberately curated.
The bar at La Caña is one of the best places in the resort for a late evening. Even guests who have eaten dinner elsewhere frequently end up here for rum, cigars, and the music that picks up as the night progresses.
Best for: Special occasion dinners, couples, guests who want the resort’s signature dining experience, late evenings after dinner elsewhere.
Book in advance: Yes — essential for dinner during peak season.
SBG (Santo Domingo Blue Grill)
Location: Marina | Cuisine: Mediterranean, international fusion | Dress code: Casual elegance | Hours: Mon–Fri 5pm–11pm, Sat 12pm–11pm, Sun 11am–11pm | Capacity: 200
SBG is the social anchor of the marina area and the most reliably lively restaurant at Casa de Campo® on weekend evenings. The setting — poolside at the marina, with the water in the background and a DJ or live band setting the energy from around 9pm — gives it an atmosphere that sits closer to a stylish urban restaurant than a typical resort dining room.
The menu is Mediterranean-inflected international: grilled fish, steaks, pasta, sharing plates, and a cocktail list calibrated for a long evening. The kitchen is consistent; the energy is the real draw. On Saturday nights in peak season, SBG is the place where the resort’s social scene concentrates — guests, residents, and visitors from La Romana all mixing in one venue.
Sunday brunch (from 11am) is a separate, more relaxed affair — a popular local institution that draws a crowd from within and beyond the resort.
Best for: Weekend evenings, groups who want energy and a social atmosphere, marina dinner before a walk along the waterfront, Sunday brunch.
Book in advance: Yes — especially Friday and Saturday evenings.
Altos de Chavon: Three Very Different Restaurants in One Village
Altos de Chavon deserves its own section because it functions as a destination within the destination — a replica 16th-century Mediterranean village with cobblestone streets, art galleries, shops, and an amphitheater, all perched on a cliff above the Chavon River. Dinner here is never just dinner. The setting is part of the experience, and the three main restaurants within the village each suit a different mood.
La Piazzetta
Location: Altos de Chavon | Cuisine: Fine Italian | Dress code: Smart casual | Hours: 7pm–11pm Mon–Thu, 12pm–11pm Fri–Sun
La Piazzetta is the most formally celebrated restaurant in Altos de Chavon — a proper Italian dining room with antipasto, housemade pasta, grilled meats, and a wine list that takes itself seriously. The setting is the classic Altos de Chavon experience: stone-walled, candlelit, with the atmosphere of an Italian restaurant that has been in the same village for centuries.
It works particularly well for families who want a step up from casual without the full occasion formality of La Caña. The pasta is genuinely good. The outdoor tables — where the village atmosphere is most present — are the ones to ask for.
Best for: Family dinners requiring a step up from casual, couples, anyone who appreciates proper Italian food in an extraordinary setting.
Chilango Taqueria
Location: Altos de Chavon, overlooking Plaza Chavón | Cuisine: Mexican street food | Dress code: Casual | Hours: 12pm–11pm
Chilango is the most reliably recommended restaurant for families with children at Casa de Campo®, and one of the most frequently visited restaurants in the resort overall. A contemporary taquería positioned above the Altos de Chavon village square — with outdoor tables overlooking the cobblestone plaza and the church — it serves tacos, guacamole, quesadillas, and the full Mexican street food canon in portions that leave nobody hungry.
The combination of good, unfussy food, a genuinely spectacular village setting, fast service, and prices that are modest relative to the fine dining alternatives makes Chilango the go-to for a Tuesday evening when nobody wants to make a production of dinner. The duck taco and the shrimp taco are both excellent. The guacamole is made fresh.
Best for: Family dinners, casual group evenings, anyone who wants atmosphere without formality, children who have opinions about food.
Book in advance: Recommended for larger groups; walk-ins usually possible.
Onno’s Bar & Restaurant
Location: Altos de Chavon, in front of the amphitheater | Cuisine: Tapas, international, casual | Dress code: Casual | Hours: All day
Onno’s is the social hub of Altos de Chavon — positioned directly in front of the amphitheater, open all day, and stocking over 100 cocktails alongside a menu that covers omelettes in the morning, tapas and hamburgers at lunch, and a full bar into the evening. When there is an event or concert at the amphitheater, Onno’s is where guests gather before and after.
The food is secondary to the atmosphere and the drinks, but everything is reliably enjoyable. It is the right place for an afternoon coffee while wandering the village, for pre-dinner cocktails, or for a post-concert nightcap when the amphitheater has delivered something particularly memorable.
Best for: Pre-dinner drinks, post-concert evenings, all-day casual, solo travellers who want to sit and watch the village.
Beach and Pool Dining
Minitas Beach Club & Restaurant
Location: Minitas Beach | Cuisine: Mediterranean, seafood, pizza, pasta | Dress code: Smart casual for dinner, beach attire for lunch | Hours: 9am–4pm (lunch/bar food), 7pm–11pm (dinner), bar open until 11pm. Closed Mondays.
Minitas Beach Club is Casa de Campo’s most scenically positioned restaurant — built directly into the beachfront landscape, with an infinity pool adjacent to the sand and panoramic Caribbean Sea views from virtually every table. The architecture is outstanding: locally designed to blend into the tropical surroundings rather than impose on them, with open-air terraces that let the sea breeze and the sound of waves into the dining space.
The lunch menu covers the bases that a beach day requires: light Mediterranean dishes, pizza, pasta, fresh seafood, salads, and a cocktail list anchored by the resort’s house-made tropical specials. The sea-view bar is the afternoon social centre of the resort from about 2pm onward.
Dinner at Minitas is a more produced affair — candles come out, the menu elevates, and the sunsets (the beach faces west, giving spectacular evening light) provide a backdrop that the restaurant earns. It is one of the most romantic dinners available at the resort.
One practical note: Minitas Beach Club restaurant is closed on Mondays. Plan accordingly.
Best for: Lunch on a beach day, sunset drinks, romantic dinners, the most beautiful view of any dining experience at the resort.
Book in advance: For dinner, yes. For lunch, generally not necessary.
Golf Course Dining
Lago Restaurant
Location: Adjacent to Teeth of the Dog clubhouse | Cuisine: Buffet breakfasts, à la carte all day | Dress code: Golf attire / smart casual | Hours: 6:30am–11pm daily
Lago is the resort’s best-kept breakfast secret. While guests at La Caña sleep in, Lago opens at 6:30am with buffet breakfasts overlooking the 18th fairway and the Caribbean Sea beyond — the combination of the world’s most famous Caribbean golf course, the morning light, and a proper hot breakfast makes it one of the more quietly extraordinary ways to start a day at Casa de Campo®.
The panoramic views of Teeth of the Dog — the course is directly in front of the restaurant — give it a setting that no other dining venue in the resort matches for golfers. The buffet is generous: fresh pastries, hot dishes, fresh fruit, eggs cooked to order, and a juice selection that reflects the quality of Dominican tropical produce.
For lunch and dinner, Lago becomes a standard à la carte venue, but the breakfast experience is what the restaurant is known for and what guests most frequently return to.
Best for: Early morning breakfast before a round, golfers who want the course view throughout their meal, guests who rise early.
The 19th Hole Bar
Location: Teeth of the Dog clubhouse | Cuisine: Sandwiches, snacks, drinks | Hours: 9am–7pm daily
The 19th Hole is exactly what it says — the post-round destination at Teeth of the Dog, serving cold drinks, sandwiches, and snacks in the immediate vicinity of the course. It is not a restaurant in the full sense; it is a sporting club bar. After four hours on a world-class golf course, the cold drink it delivers tastes like nothing else.
Best for: Post-round debriefs, golfers only.
The Marina: More Dining Options
The marina area at Casa de Campo® has developed its own distinct dining cluster beyond SBG, with several additional options along the waterfront.
Peperoni
Location: Marina | Cuisine: Steaks, sushi, pasta, international | Dress code: Smart casual | Hours: Dinner service
Peperoni offers the most eclectic menu at the marina — a combination of imported steaks, sushi, and Italian pasta that sounds broader than it is in practice. It works particularly well for groups with mixed tastes who want to share dishes across different preferences. The formal dining room and the outdoor canopy terrace offer two distinct atmospheres; the outdoor option is almost always preferable in the evening.
Limoncello
Location: Marina | Cuisine: Pizza, Italian | Hours: Daily 12pm–12am | Capacity: 100
A more casual Italian option at the marina, Limoncello covers thin-crust pizza and Italian standards in a relaxed waterfront setting. It fills a useful gap — a no-fuss pizza and pasta dinner in the marina zone when SBG has a wait and you want to stay on the water.
Causa
Location: Marina | Cuisine: Peruvian (Creole, Nikkei, Chifa) | Dress code: Casual elegant
Causa is the resort’s most distinctive culinary offering — dedicated Peruvian food in a setting where Peruvian restaurants are genuinely rare. The menu explores three pillars of Peruvian cuisine: traditional Creole cooking, Nikkei (the Japanese-Peruvian fusion that has produced some of Latin America’s most celebrated dishes), and Chifa (Peruvian-Chinese). The ceviche and tiradito are exceptional. For guests who have any interest in food beyond comfort eating, Causa is worth a dedicated evening.
Best for: Food-focused guests, anyone curious about Peruvian cuisine, couples who want something genuinely different from the Italian and Mediterranean options that dominate the rest of the menu.
Casual and Daytime Dining
La Cantina
Location: Altos de Chavon Plaza | Cuisine: Caribbean/Latin, sushi | Hours: 11am–11pm Mon–Sat, closed Sundays
La Cantina covers the gap between beach club lunch and full restaurant dinner — a casual, mid-register option in the heart of Altos de Chavon serving Caribbean and Latin dishes alongside a dinner sushi menu. The mofongo is reliably good; the location on the plaza gives it the same atmospheric advantage as the other Altos de Chavon restaurants.
Café Marietta
Location: Altos de Chavon | Cuisine: Café fare, light meals | Setting: Open-air with Chavon River views
Café Marietta sits on the steps of Altos de Chavon with views over the Chavon River valley and the Dye Fore golf course beyond. It is the right place for a morning coffee while wandering the village, a light lunch, or simply sitting and absorbing one of the best views in the resort. Not a destination in its own right but a welcome discovery for guests exploring Altos de Chavon on foot.
Brasa Food Truck
Location: Resort grounds | Cuisine: Street food — salads, ceviches, grilled platters, hamburgers, Argentinian choripán
Brasa is the resort’s food truck operation — a deliberate embrace of street food culture at the same quality standard as the resort’s full restaurants. The menu ranges across fresh ceviches, grilled platters, and Argentinian choripán (a grilled sausage sandwich that has developed a devoted following among repeat guests). It is a genuinely good option for a casual lunch without committing to a sit-down restaurant, and the quality is consistently above what most resorts deliver from food truck operations.
Massa
Location: Resort grounds | Cuisine: Sourdough pizza, flatbreads | Baking style: Wood-fired oven
Massa is the resort’s artisan pizza operation — long-fermented sourdough bases cooked in a wood-fired oven, with creative toppings that go beyond the standard resort pizza offering. For guests who want pizza done properly rather than as an afterthought, Massa delivers.
The Villa Alternative: Private Chef at Home
Every restaurant on this list is accessible and worth visiting. But the dining experience most frequently cited by repeat guests as the highlight of their Casa de Campo® stay is not any restaurant — it is the private chef or cook in the villa.
A skilled private chef, briefed in advance on your group’s preferences and dietary requirements, cooking breakfast and dinner in your villa for the duration of the stay transforms the trip rhythm entirely. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking your pool, without the need to drive to the resort’s restaurants. Dinner under the stars in your own outdoor dining space, with the menu built around what your group wants to eat that evening. The ability to have early children’s dinner followed by a proper adult dinner later, without coordinating a restaurant reservation.
Caribbean Paradise Homes arranges private chef service for any villa in our portfolio. We brief the chef before your arrival with your group’s preferences — favourite dishes, dietary requirements, allergies, drinking habits. By the time you arrive, the chef already knows you. That is one of the most consistent differences between a good villa holiday and a great one.

Concierge Tip: How to Plan Your Dining Week
For a typical 7-night stay, our team recommends the following balance as a starting point:
- 2 nights in Altos de Chavon — one at Chilango (casual, village atmosphere), one at La Piazzetta (fine Italian for a more special evening)
- 1–2 nights at the marina — SBG for a social evening or Causa if food is a priority
- 1 night at Minitas Beach Club — specifically for the sunset dinner experience
- 1 night at La Caña — the resort’s signature dining experience, worth one dedicated evening
- 2–3 nights at the villa with your private chef or cook — the meals guests remember most
This balance gives your group the variety of the resort’s full dining offer while leaving enough evenings in the villa to enjoy the private experience that most guests say is the highlight of the stay.
